Chapter 186 Sierra Hadley
Of all times, Mr. Hadley had to be away from home now. If Christina was bullied, they honestly did not know how to explain it to Nathaniel.
Before leaving the house. Mr. Hadley has given precise instructions not to let any members of the Hadley family in… He was worried that his mother would come looking for trouble, but who knew that it was Ms. Sierra who came instead. I wonder who the person tending the door today is. How una*sertive…
Christina picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee before saying, “I appreciate your concern, Aunt Sierra. As for when to have children, it’s a matter between Nathaniel and me, so you need not worry about it.”
Old Mrs. Hadley didn’t even hurry me in this matter. Isn’t this aunt of Nathaniel too bored and looking for trouble?
Sierra glowered at her. How dare this brat talk back to me! Who does she think she is?
With a scoff, she lifted her cup of coffee and doused the younger woman.
The scalding coffee splashed across Christina’s body, leaving a red and burning mark on her fair cheek.
“Ms. Sierra, what are you doing? If Mrs. Hadley is scalded, you will be in big trouble. Mr. Hadley will surely question us when he returns.”
Raymond and the housekeepers were dumbfounded and quickly went to get a towel to wipe Christina’s face.
Sierra glared at Christina as if she was the source of all misfortune. “Have you no manners? Do you know who you’re talking to? People will think badly of our family!”
The whole living room fell silent. Despite feeling anxious, none of the housekeepers dared to confront Sierra.
Sierra had always had a reputation for being unruly. Even Charlie had to give in to her, let alone Nathaniel.
She had recently taken a business trip abroad and missed Felicia’s birthday party, so she had made a special trip home to make up for it.
Madison had told her everything about Christina.
She’s a scheming little girl. I don’t know what Nathaniel sees in her, but he’s completely besotted with her.
Unless she’s reborn into a family of great power and influence, a woman like Christina can never establish a relationship with the Hadley family in this lifetime.
“Mrs. Hadley is pretty nice and well–behaved. Please be more forgiving toward her,” Raymond defended Christina from the side.
He was also standing in front of Christina, worried that Sierra would splash coffee on her without warning again.
As Sierra’s gaze darkened, she pointed her finger at the butler and snapped, “Don’t think you can forget who you work for just because you’ve been in Scenic Garden Manor for a long time. I was the one who brought you back to the Hadley residence back then, yet now you’re defending this brat? Do you still know who you’re working for? Get out of my sight now!”
Only then did Raymond realize that he was in trouble. “I just wanted to speak for Mrs. Hadley. I have no intention of disrespecting you. Could you please not dismiss me?”
“Get lost.” Sierra did not bother to show any kindness.
Christina stepped forward and clutched the butler’s hand. As the lady of the house, she would not let ant outsider dismiss them.
“Raymond works in Scenic Garden Manor, so he’s considered Nathaniel’s employee. Aunt Sierra, you can’t
Before she could finish her sentence, she was doused with another cup of coffee.
She showed no emotion when the scalding coffee splashed on her face, but her clear eyes gradually turned hostile.
Bullying seems to be all I get in return for my repeated tolerance, isn’t it?
Without saying another word, Christina picked up her own cup of coffee and poured it on Sierra’s body. “Nice to meet you, and thank you for treating me to two cups of coffee, Aunt Sierra. This is my gift in
return!”
“You…”
Sierra was so angry that her face turned scarlet. It was the first time the housekeepers had seen her in such. a state of embarra*sment.
Her attractive face was coated with drips of coffee, and she also had coffee trickling from her drenched clothes and jewelry.
Sierra was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but having been raised well, she would not allow herself to act in a way that went against her upbringing.
She held her breath and cast the other woman a vicious glare. “How dare you, Christina! I’ll make you regret this!”
With that, Sierra grabbed her bag and left in a hurry.
Christina felt helpless as she stared at the older woman’s retreating figure, which radiated resentment.
I didn’t wish to upset her, but she wouldn’t listen to me. Forget it. I’ll explain the situation to Nathaniel when he comes home.
In reality, Christina did not even need to say anything as Sierra headed straight to the Hadley residence. upon leaving the former’s house.
The moment she walked through the door, she grabbed her sister–in–law’s hand and whined, “Julia, your daughter–in–law is truly a shrew. She’s so vicious! I merely went to talk her into giving you a grandson sooner, but I can’t believe she splashed me with coffee! Don’t you think she’s awful?”
She talked nonstop from the minute she walked into the house, giving Julia no chance to speak at all.
In the past, Julia would have believed Sierra’s words without any doubt. After all, she had also despised
Christina.
However, she gradually changed her opinion of her daughter–in–law over a time of interaction.
In fact, she even felt that Christina had a steady temperament.
Julia pulled Sierra to sit down and comforted her softly, “I don’t think Christina will do such a disrespectful thing to her elder without any reason. Is there some sort of misunderstanding between you
two?”
Sierra looked as if she had seen a ghost.
Are my ears deceiving me? I can’t believe Julia said that I’ve misunderstood Christina.
“What’s the matter with you, Julia? Have you been possessed?” Sierra placed her hand on her sister–in- law’s forehead to check her temperature. She doesn’t have a fever.
Julia knew that her attitude was different from before, but she did not know how to explain it.
Just then, footsteps sounded from the staircase.
Sierra turned to look and exclaimed in surprise, “Charlie? Why did you return to the Hadley residence instead of staying at that b*tch’s house?”
She had always been well aware of the relationship between her elder brother and sister–in–law.
He had not returned home in years and had been living in Linda’s house.
Charlie’s initial joy at seeing his younger sister instantly vanished when he heard her question. “How are
still so easily startled at your age? This is my home. Where else should I go?”
you
Sierra returned to her old house and heard that Linda had been driven out of the family.
However, due to the poisoning incident being so humiliating, everyone in the family kept it secret.
Sierra did not know the reason for that, but judging from the current situation, she could tell that Charlie’s return to the family was true.
“Aren’t you two going to do something about your daughter–in–law? Do you know what the prominent families outside think of our family? She’s a brat who acts like a dignified young lady and isn’t willing to bear children. Does she think she’s a celebrity or a princess?”
Charlie remained unfazed. “And here I was wondering what made you so anxious. That’s a matter between the youngsters. We can’t rush it.”
Julia also quickly tried to smooth things over. “It’s rare for you to come back, Sierra. Stay here so we can
chat more.”
With that, she instructed the help to replace the mattress in Sierra’s room.
Then, the two of them went into the room and chatted happily. Sierra finally calmed down after that.
The next day, Sierra attended the morning meeting as a shareholder.
After the meeting, she asked Madison to meet her outside.
